Here you go.

Workarounds involved finding a way to circumvent SafetyNet (like the Knox e-fuse but ten times worse!). Those solutions seem temporary and you have to keep up with them constantly playing cat vs. mouse with Google. Too frustrating for me! I just cling to outdated phones as long as they work!

I was referring to the forum revolt that would have happened had they tried copying Apple (see: Pixel, limiting choice, etc) back in 2011 when AOSP And Holo UI was all the rage. The mere idea of losing many features that were considered staples of Android then would have been blasphemy. I was not referring to losing UMS but I sure would have revolted. I didn't need no stinking drivers to mount UMS but I couldn't locate the software necessary to mount MTP and my cars never worked via USB anymore. To me it was a huge inconvenience. I'm a stick in the mud, and when I get used to doing things a specific way, forcing me to re-learn and re-adapt to a new way out of the blue for no reason just makes me want to stop giving you my business. I do not take kindly to frustration and unnecessary change.

I can't imagine living without the SD card. The mere convenience of having all your data instantly available (like my 3K songs) when switching devices is too good to lose. It could take hours to re-download all the data on my SD card from any 'cloud'. This includes backed up APKs since 2009, MP3 files, all the photos I've taken, podcasts, videos, etc. Heck, I got 20GBs used right now of old YouTube content archived that's long-purged from their site today.

Also, if my phone were busted, that data would be lost forever. With an SD card, I can still retrieve it. Even if the card goes read-only I can still access it.

I'm still miffed we lost IR blasters, removable batteries, and notification LEDs. Given I'm an A-Series Samsung user today, I'm sure the headphone jack is next ultimately, but I'm not planning on buying another new phone unless they get rid of LTE and VoLTE for say, 8G in like 2050 or something.

OP:
Yahoo mail is seperated from gmail, they are two different companies altogether

But you can have Gmail receive and send from other email clients like yahoo. It's just the the servers will always have trouble communicating and syncing.

Nothing was just a thought of error running in my mind!

Try to unpair all devices, and then pair them as soon as you have time to do so

I wiped the cache, which didn't work, then discovered that I had somehow turned on "do not disturb". Turning it off solved the problem, but I do feel stupid! Thank you for your reply.

LOL that was going to be my next question.

so the things that you mentioned in your op are not symptoms of hacking. hackers mostly want to infiltrate a phone and steal info whether it is your contacts or your identity. they usually do not do things like make a popup disappear or mess with your flashlight on your phone. hackers want to be discrete and steal info from you.

as mentioned a factory reset and setting up a two step verification on all accounts that has that option is the best way to protect your info from thieves. i would also change all of your passwords to any accounts you have.

and whatever you do, never give your phone to someone and leave it with them unattended. unless you are going to get it serviced or fixed at a reputable place.

This is nuts. I'm really surprised that virtually no one anywhere is talking about this.

The change was made a couple of years ago. To be honest I don't recall much controversy at the time, so that's probably why there's no discussion about this now.

(Personally I find it useful: I can read information from the preview so I don't have to switch apps to remind myself of something. Though for quick app switching one of the older "grid" layouts with 8 apps/screen was faster - I never found the "rolodex" style either attractive or useful, so never once missed that).

Doesn't Android force you to enter your PIN or alternate password after so many hours/uses of biometrics or is that just a Samsung thing? The only thing I got running Stock Android is a Walmart tablet running Android 11 and it ultimately forces use of the password over face unlock after so many hours. So it's not just a 'tap sensor and never see lock screen'

Often I look at my lock screen to check notifications since they got rid of the convenient notification LED (Why?!) so when I have to see it it might as well fit me, and Android 12's doesn't fit me. As far as I am aware, no replacement lockscreen can change the notification shapes at all. They add features and modules like Good Lock but you're stuck with whatever crazy scheme Google's cooking up at that time otherwise.

Believe me, I'd love to change everything. If I could bring back the classic Gingerbread stock slide to unlock UI on a modern phone I'd have done it by now.

Yes, you can uninstall the app, and reinstall another version.
Your account will still be there, and you will need to log in.

The web version should be uncensored, but that could depend upon what browser you use.

I stay away from Google as much as I can.

Google and Apple both censor the Telegram apps available from their app stores.

Telegram is forced to accept this if the app is to be on these stores.

The ROM file is not a concern, the problem now I can't charge the phone.. I need a way to charge it so that I can try to flash it again..

Hello people.
I had a game published back in 2016 and it got the whooping 1000 downloads
,
so I decided to polish it a bit, to add some new questions and conditional logic aaaannd... here's the new version:

Google Play




I'm not a professional developer, just building stuff in my free time, sometimes.. last time was as I said 2016


So, please don't be too harsh with the reviews and stuff.
I hope some of you might have some fine moments in the rest room with my tiny quiz.
Here's few screenshots, just to check if the colors and design match your liking without clicking on the google play link for no reason. Including the simple rules of the game screenshot. * image quality here might be lower than actual in-game stuff.
Reading a review on google play or replies here will make me very happy.
I'm not a very social person IRL, so yeah.. you know I guess.
Thank you and be well!

Sure know moto phones for about six years or so.

It's not about how fast the current goes, but how much current there is. Twice the length of a given wire has twice the resistance. So for a given voltage (V = IR) the higher resistance results in lower current.

I would guess it only happens upstream because the phone's power supply is much weaker than a desktop pc's. In any case the .9m cords work perfectly (the old one was 3m)

Downloading now...got it.

@GameTheory I'm trying to figure out how to get system permissions with root and for some reason I can't seem to find that information. I was starting to come to the conclusion that it must not be possible very easily or else my google search skills are lacking in that area.

you can always get the oem chargers and cables from samsung if you want:
https://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/m...travel-adapter-black-ep-ta800nbegus/#benefits

you can also search for the cables if you need it.

.....but.....
i'm with @olbriar you do not necessarily need oem(original equipment manufacturer) chargers and cables as it says in the manual. they are just trying to sell their own product. i have used many chargers abd cables from different devices to charge my phones before in the past. just be careful of cheap chinese made products. they tend to break or not charge your phones properly.

Android 13 is OTA for me; Verizon, NE USA. Im starting the download now.
It was 1.02 GB and took only 2 hours.
Good luck to all.

i con not add a acount on my umx u670c phone any answers

I play it and I advise you.

At first, my friends and I were also bothered by these automatic updates. Especially when you have already set up to work in the same way on different OSes, and after the update, you have to adjust to the new trends, even if they are improved somehow. Fortunately, we were told that Zaptest has a usability testing tool, and our corporate system will work correctly after the updates. It is not always possible to safely block updates so as not to harm the well-established work of the team. But if you are annoyed by updates, try blocking them, as shown in the screenshots.

AFAIK all you need to do is to unlock it, is to make one phone call of at least five minutes using a local SIM within the region,

why do you particularly want to buy and import a German(EU/EEA) variant of the A22 or A32 into the US? That may or may not work with T-mobile rather than the unlocked US variant of these devices, that's guaranteed to work with T-mobile..

Re:- the thing with just making one 5-minute phone call with an EU SIM card - note that I asked Samsung support, "Do you mean to tell me that EVERY SINGLE ONE of the millions of Samsung owners in Germany (surely all EU) who travel outside the EU, have emailed Samsung their travel dates, copy of receipt and IMEI number THREE WEEKS IN ADVANCE in order to use their phone while traveling?" and they said, yes, every one of them has done that. It's the only way to use an EU Samsung outside the EU. No exceptions.

Then I tried support again the next day and they said that's wrong; you can email if you need to but you can also just do the 5-minute call and he explained how it's all about preventing people from buying phones and reselling them on other continents, which makes you wonder, who is buying phones *retail* in the EU and reselling them in some continent where you can't even get them?

Not importing - I live in Germany and will be traveling to the US.
